I know the one that was on was a 4-1 mildsteel BTB one and one of the bottom primary's is about half the diamiter than it should be due to the previous owner looking like her rallied it over every speed bump going :-( i should try get the oxyacetaline on it and heat it up see if i can push the dint out.
The car isn't as low as it was when i bought it now.
Cheers for the advice though mate.
yea i ended up getting the sbd 4-2-1 in the end was loads better than the ebay jobby
Should of gone for a 4-2-1, powerwise mostly.
Crack on though :)
looking good mate there's been a fair change since when i saw this on ebay :thumb:
good project you got going here matey!! will be easier to get sorted having it on a jig!! hope your getting rid off that steering wheel though lol
Yeah to be honest if i didn't have the jig it would have been scrapped it needed that much sorting on the rear chasis legs and boot floor. Anyways its all sorted now.
Steering wheel is defo going i hate it!
Scoorge how long ago was it on ebay?
Engine bay is fully painted we bought the same colour as the new Vauxhall VXR's

Front panel prepped for painting. enzyme Inhibitator horrible colour stuff but i swear by it. Primer over the top of that then paint with celulose then a high quality thinners for the top coat.

Inlet manifold. Well i fitted this to the engine and it turned out the c16xe throttle body hits the cam cover ever so slightly when the throttle cables in place so im on the look out for a x16xe one now as this clears.

Bay looks tidy, are the VXRs not just glacier white or are they different?
Are you still looking for a X16XE throttle body? I do have one.
Yes i am mate. How much do you want for it with postage :)
Olympic white i think it is. I just wanted the brightest white i could get.Quote:
